I don't understand how this could much improve things, though I do
understand that in some technical sense it is better syntax for the
test I want to do. Perhaps I'll try it when I've spare time today.
However, you miss the main thing I'm curious about
: as a function in
procedural code, this function works well and has never failed me. Now
that I'm trying to make it the method of an object, it has stopped
working. I'm looking for something that is specific to the object that
would cause it not to work. I've already checked what I thought was
obvious: do the variables have scope here, am I using the "$this->"
syntax. It seems I've done all that, yet the code won't work, and, as
I say, it works well as a function outside of this class.
For now, I've gone back to using getVar, the function, rather than
$io->getVar, the class method. But as I'm moving to OO, I'd like to
figure out how to make this function work as a class method.
